Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Fibrates have an edge over statins for treating triglyceride / statins have an edge on cholesterol
The combination allows a smaller dose of each…
The choice depends on the lipid profile / and full 14-hour fast is necessary for proper triglyceride assay…
Best treatment is of course to stop alcohol – immediately, completely & permanently

Good luck
God bless you
